You don’t have to dig very deep into the American psyche to notice that hostilities are boiling up to a dangerous level. With mainstream media’s almost 24/7 coverage of possible collusion between Trump and Russia, many Americans are beginning to view a nuclear superpower as their enemy. I don’t believe the collusion exists, but sometimes people’s opinions have a more powerful effect on the world than what is true. Furthermore, the divide between the left and right in the US seems like one violent moment away from breaking out into all out war. So, my question is, which is more likely, WWIII or a 2nd US Civil War?
Let’s first examine the possibility of another US Civil War. The political divide between Americans has been growing for decades, but the rise of Trump has finally pushed the left to act out violently. The mainstream, corporate sponsored #Resist movement has been a widely pushed narrative to stir up even more hate.
A few weeks ago, an avid Bernie supporter decided to take matters into his own hands by opening fire on republican politicians at their baseball practice. Luckily, he was a terrible shot and no one died. Shortly after the incident, Alex Jones riled his side up in a June 14th video, stating:
“The first shots of the second American civil war have already been fired.”

Neither am I. In my case, the “maneuver” component of “fire and maneuver consists in scratching my butt.
However, I can still put 30 rounds in a man-sized target at 50 yards as fast as I can pull the trigger, so I don’t think I’m totally useless.
“””Leftists are losing their minds over Trump.””””
Trump is simply the embodiment of the traditional American psyche. They hate all of us. They want to destroy all of us and destroy our children’s minds.
From what I saw in Africa I'd say you're spot on.
Put your houses in order, stock up and keep your head on a swivel. Now is the time you should be out of the cities. You don't want ring side seats.
So which is the more immediate threat that needs attention? Spanking the agitators within, or re-establishing excellence in foreign affairs. I would say that President Trump had international affairs trending positive. What to do about the Marxist American community organizers?

I really like that. Thank you very much.
The Second American Civil War is being fought (if you want to call it that) on the Internet.
The idea that we'll all leave the house for some new Shiloh or Bull Run isn't very realistic.
I certainly don’t see Civil War as imminent in any way.
The ‘Russia Stuff’ and the constant harangue of ‘Anti Trump’ are so obviously contrived, that the media outlets promoting it all have made laughingstocks of themselves. People are generally bored stiff with the television “news” these days, and ‘click’ to something else.
I don’t know anyone, conservative OR liberal, who wants to take up arms about anything that is going on. We may see the acting-out of groups of ‘activist dilettantes’ - obviously being paid - and the occasional nut whose imbalance focuses upon all the anti-Trump stuff. But the vast majority just want to live their everyday lives as they’ve always done, and wish all the noise would just go away.
why don’t you think that we wont have deaths by infection? Do you think that somehow if our country went to civil war that supplies and trucks will still operate? That the Fed ex guy and the UPS guy are still delivering??
This has already been addressed.
That’s my prediction too.
I’m thinking a “Night of the Long Knives”, when bold men take out the threat posed by college professors, journalists, Hollyweird Liberals and other assorted shills, all in one fell swoop. Ring the bell, open the door, bang.
Now, to be clear, I am not advocating nor planning such a dreadful thing, but I suppose someone might be.
You are 100% correct... and in his Inaugural and in subsequent actions, including the First Lady invoking publicly the Lord’s Prayer,and noting the action of God when the people of Poland cried out, “We WANT GOD!” the Covenant was reclaimed for this nation by her leader.
IMHO, the activity of the response of the grass roots Tea party in defiance of the Godless afforded us this opportunity. The leader we selected - against all odds- has been delivering. He HAS, as noted, claimed the Covenant on our nation’s behalf, and if we continue to back his play, I believe America CAN and WILL be delivered. We may have some rough going, but our Lord never promised it would be easy. The trek upward is worth the price.
We're long past the point where we can solve our differences. This country is divided as badly as it was in 1861, if not worse.
The only way to avoid a costly, bloody civil war is if we could somehow peacefully divide into two or three separate countries, but that ain't gonna happen. Better to just embrace the suck and get your own family ready for the inevitable.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
“People have been predicting this for a long time.”
The Fourth Turning predicts a world changing violent event about every 80 years.
Been correct for the last 500 years.
I don’t presume to know what it will be like.
CWII sparks WWIII or vice versa, either is valid.
Yes. Cut off supplies to all major cities. The left loses.
Most people are too busy working and paying bills to bother with a civil war. Or too busy being entertained. That’s the main difference between now and the 1860s — not much of an entertainment industry back then. The fraction of the population that would turn out for either side in a civil war would be quite low.

People move when they feel they have no choice. Right at this moment most don’t have the time nor the will to fight a war. In a real war scenario the first casualties are communication, logistics and utilities. Thus no internet nor electronic entertainment, no power for industries, thus no place to go to work, and no payday. In two weeks store shelves would look like those in Venezuela, not even a roll to toilet paper. People move when they’re hungry and desperate, so regardless of how warm and fuzzy they might feel at this moment, it could all change in a couple of weeks. This could all START incredibly fast, but ending is another matter.
